adhoc3 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 4C, forward ball to pard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Depends on agreements of Dbl, pass and 3♠ imo. Otherwise just 4♣ since I don't have a shortness. We might have 2♥ losers off top and we will probably lose something else later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Wow what's this system called? Anyway, I bid 5♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 4C. If I had a singleton heart, it would be 5C. Sounds like we play similar systems :) Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_c Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 1NT showed 5+♣, invitational+. Oops. Partner has misbid. Never mind, it's still an interesting problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temp3600 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 3S or X. I would like to stay below 3NT, in case partner has Kx or Ax in hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easy Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 interesting system. I dont like 3s that sounds like offering to play a 4-3 spade game (me having the 4). Since i can count 7 tricks (6c +1s)i guess i will try for game in nt and bid 3h (looking for h stopper not partial) give pard a/kh and ks we are gin for 3n.in addition there are many other holdings where game in nt will make but 4c may be the limit in a suit contract. adenda it would help if i had noted the 3h bid by opponents. but if they let me make the insufficient q-bid all will be well. else .. i guess im going to vote for 3s....still aiming at 3n and pulling 4s to 5c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Woo, interest in my system :P It is known as "Siege", and despite this 1♣ opener it isn't a Fantunes variant. It uses a short club, 14-16 NT except 1st NV when it is 10-13, minor two-suiters always open 1♦, and there are lots of transfers both in contested and uncontested auctions. I've just started entering it into a blog, I'll post the link here shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I feel like bidding 3NT, so that's what I'm going to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Those red suits look bad so 4♣ seems enough. I take it that "invitational" is in the context of this sound opening style, and even though the clubs are huge we really don't have much extra.

joshs Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 5C, advance save. I don't think I am making it but its really hard for them to x me. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro_1946 Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 With such a good hand and partner 5/+♣ inviting/+ , i dont think about advance save. My problem is to find the right contract or help my partner to do that. Since i play Garozzo agreement (double= ♥ shortness), my bidding is 3♠ which is descriptive and leave room for my partner:- if he has xx♥ and only inviting hand, knowing to loose 2 ♥ tricks, he will bid 4♣- if he has x♥, 5♣ is for sure a playble contract- if he has Ax or Kx♥ ( i cant exclude that), 3nt is our contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I just bid 4♣ and sold out to 4♥, which worked well - partner has overbid with x Txx KJ8x QTxxx, 4♥ and 5♣ are both 1 off, 4♠ by them would make. I'm still not sure if I prefer 4♣ or 5♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not sure if I prefer 4♣ or 5♣. To bid 1NT with 3 small H is not my type, and I will play with this kind of partner either. with the actual holding, 3C would be my choice.
